Yu Xiaogang: Dong'er, I Was Wrong

"The Spirit Hall did indeed have information about their travels at the time," Bibi Dong replied.

"Are their deaths related to the Spirit Hall?" Ye Feng asked with concern.

"Maybe."

"Is it related to you?"

"I did have the thought of killing them."

"What do you mean?" Ye Feng looked at Bibi Dong Bibi Dong in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

"Can I not answer?" Bibi Dong asked, her brows furrowing slightly. Ye Feng's question was like reopening a wound in her heart.

"I want to know the truth," Ye Feng replied to Bibi Dong in a serious tone.

Ye Feng didn't pressure Bibi Dong because he knew a little about what happened back then. Making Bibi Dong recall that painful experience would be too difficult for Bibi Dong.

Of course, Ye Feng didn't pressure Bibi Dong. He simply said he wanted to know the truth. If Bibi Dong refused, Ye Feng wouldn't force Bibi Dong to answer his questions.

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Feng, the young man she had "fallen in love with at first sight." She turned around, gazing at the shimmering lake before her. She pondered for a long while, recalling that painful past.

"Back then, Tang Hao brought his betrothed to the Spirit Hall for a banquet. It was my daughter Qian Renxue's birthday banquet."

"It was during the banquet that an elder discovered the true identity of Tang Hao's fiancée Ah Yin. Since Tang Hao was a direct disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, and it was also Xue'er's birthday banquet at the time, no one made a move to capture Tang Hao."

"After the banquet, Tang Hao and Ah Yin disappeared."

"The previous Pope then mobilized the influence of the Spirit Hall to search the world for Tang Hao and Ah Yin."

"Finally, someone reported to the Spirit Hall, saying that two strangers were lurking in a village. They never left the village, yet they were Soul Master. The villagers suspected they might be Evil Soul Master and feared the village would be attacked. At that time, Evil Soul Master were extremely rampant, causing widespread devastation wherever they went. Therefore, the villagers hoped the Spirit Hall could intervene to see if the two were Evil Soul Master. If they were, they hoped the Evil Soul Master Spirit Hall could eliminate them as soon as possible."

"After a covert investigation by the Spirit Hall, it was discovered that the other party was not Evil Soul Master, but Tang Hao and his fiancée Ah Yin who were hiding in the village."

"Upon receiving this news, the previous Pope rushed to the village. This sparked a major battle."

"Tang Hao was very powerful, but he was still no match for the many strong people of the Spirit Hall. Seeing that there was no way out, Tang Hao's fiancée Ah Yin, sacrificed herself for Tang Hao Tang Hao, helping him become the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the Soul Master World at that time. Enraged, Tang Hao fought against the Spirit Hall and finally seriously injured the former Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"With the loss of the Soul Ring and Soul Bone that the Spirit Hall cared about, the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall had no choice but to retreat back to the Spirit Hall in the face of the strong Tang Hao."

"Given the injuries of the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, only two Soul Douluo from the Nine Heart Hibiscus Family Soul Master World heal him in the entire Soul Master world. Coincidentally, one of them, Nine Heart Hibiscus Soul Master named Ye Wan'er, was located within the territory of the Balak Kingdom. Therefore, Qian Daoliu, the Judgement Elder of the Spirit Hall, ordered someone to invite Ye Wan'er to the Spirit Hall to heal the former Pope."

"For certain reasons, I didn't want the previous Pope to live. So, I considered sending someone to kill Ye Wan'er. However, Ye Wan'er was accompanied by Ye Aotian, whose strength was not to be underestimated. Killing both of them was too difficult. So, I hardened my heart and came up with an even more insane idea."

Bibi Dong spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a venomous glint in them.

Ye Feng knew that Bibi Dong's even more insane idea was to directly devour the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, thus taking Qian Xunji's life.

"So, the people who killed them weren't you and the Spirit Hall. Is that right?" Ye Feng asked.

"You could say that. Back then, besides me, no one in the Spirit Hall needed to kill Ye Wan'er. A Healing System Soul Douluo of level eighty-something." Bibi Dong answered Ye Feng's question, then turned to face Ye Feng. After a moment's thought, she asked in surprise, "Your surname is Ye, and one of your Martial Soul is the Nine Heart Profound Tang. You're so concerned about the deaths of Ye Wan'er and Ye Aotian, could it be that you're their child?"

Ye Feng didn't intend to hide anything from Bibi Dong and nodded slightly.

"I never imagined you were their child."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"There is none left."

"Ye Feng, we will meet again."

Bibi Dong has disappeared, but her voice still echoes here.

Ye Feng fell into deep thought.

Based on Bibi Dong's account, the murderers of Ye Feng's parents can almost certainly be ruled out as the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong herself. This leaves only two key suspects: Ye Feng's maternal uncle, the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan; and Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo. Of the two, based on the clues Ye Feng currently possesses, the most likely culprit is his maternal uncle.

Because Ye Feng Ye Feng's maternal uncle or aunt wanted their daughter to awaken the Nine Heart Hibiscus Martial Soul, they harmed Ye Feng's parents.

Of course, it could also be Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo. But what was Tang Hao's motive for murder? Ye Feng couldn't understand it. If Tang Hao was the murderer, what was his motive? After all, Tang Hao had no reason to kill Ye Feng's parents.

The hotel in Heaven Dou City where the teachers and students of the Blazing Academy reside.

Yu Xiaogang sat at the table. On the table in front of him were the files of the contestants from various academies. They contained relevant information and some notes he had made.

Tomorrow, Blazing Academy will face off against the Skywater Academy.

Skywater Academy is one of the Five Element Academies, and its strength should not be underestimated. Yu Xiaogang must devise a strategy to counter Skywater Academy today.

Buzz

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space in front of Yu Xiaogang. A woman walked out of the void.

"Yu Xiaogang, can you still recognize me?"

The woman slowly turned around to face Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting at the table.

"Dong... Dong... Dong'er!?" Yu Xiaogang stared blankly, exclaiming in surprise.

"Shut up. You are not worthy to use those two words. Please call me Your His Holiness the Pope," Bibi Dong shouted.

"Your His Holiness the Pope?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. After all, he had been a useless person for decades, so he quickly calmed down and asked, "Your His Holiness the Pope?"

"Of course something's wrong."

"Oh, what is it?"

"When a person has the power to change their own destiny, they will try every means to get rid of the things they don't like. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang, your existence is the thing I'm most dissatisfied with!" Bibi Dong replied sharply.

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to kill me?" Yu Xiaogang stared at Bibi Dong in astonishment. His first love had come all the way from the Spirit Hall just to kill him?
